Christmas Sugar (InstaSpark Collection) Kindle Edition
His no-nonsense approach to life and business keeps him balanced—and alone.
His life is bland—devoid of any kind of sweetness or light.
An unexpected business trip close to Christmas, however, brings three people into his life he never expected.
An oversharing teenager.
A lisping little angel.
A sexy, unassuming woman unlike any he has ever met. Her bossy attitude challenges him, while her green eyes melt the frost around his heart. They draw out something in him that he has never experienced.
Feelings.
Are they the Christmas miracles he needs—or will he walk away from the sweetest gift he has ever been offered? Love.
Book #2 of the Insta-Spark collection. Complete standalone reads with one thing in common - lots of sweetness and a guaranteed HEA. Instant attraction, little angst - love and happiness abounds in this series.

About the Author
While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and enjoys travelling--here and abroad--but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.
Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down the stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet). She's learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2018Dylan Maxwell is a bit of a diva who uses one mode of communicating -- yelling. In his defense, he's worked hard to make his multi-million dollar company a success, and he lives, eats and breathes Maxwell Corp. Alex Walsh takes care of everything and everyone at the Sleepy Moose Inn. It's been her home all of her adult life, but business is down and bills have piled up, so the only choice now is to sell the inn. Her head has accepted this, her heart not so much, so it’s no surprise that Alex gives prospective buyer Dylan a frosty welcome when he arrives at the inn.
Ms. Moreland has done it again, because the early copy I read of this book was fantastic! What is better than a workaholic, grumpy alpha having his world turned upside down and finding everything he never knew he needed? In spite of his prickly outer shell, Alex manages to see beyond Dylan's façade to his vulnerable heart that longs for love. With a wonderful cast of secondary characters, an engaging storyline and the most adorable, endearing four-year-old ever to grace the pages of romance, this is a humorous, heart warming, poignant holiday story that is sure to please your romantic heart.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2024I really loved this book! Christmas sugar was such a wonderful romantic Hallmark movie kind of book. It made you feel good and the writing was amazing! I could not put this book down. I was so involved in this story. It has all the feels and when it ended I knew this was a book that I would recommend to all my friends. I plan to re-read this many times it was that good.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2022Christmas Sugar is Dylan Maxwell's story on how he met his match. Dylan Maxwell is a grinch; he's all business all the time, a successful investor/realtor. No softness; his main volume is somewhere between a grunt and shouts out his wants or needs; everyone hides, except his long-time personal assistant, Arlene, who is retiring at the end of the year. Arlene has been like a mother to him, and she started working for his father; then, when Dylan began his company, she left and joined him. Dylan is interested in property in Pinegrove, a place called Ocean Bluff Resort. Alrene Carson spoke with the owner George, and together they decided that Dylan needed to stay a few days to check out everything.
Dylan is accustomed to certain privileges like first-class accommodations, so when his plane is delayed and lands, he finds a teenager named Seth there to greet him. None of the benefits like a warm car, his bags taken and stored. He learns quickly that this place is not his usual stay. At the front desk is a slight woman who is beautiful, her name is Alexis. She has a young child named Noelle that captures Dylan's heart.
This story is predictable, something you might find in a Hallmark movie minus the sex scenes, which you might find on HMO or Netflix.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2024I am never disappointed by Ms Moreland's stories. For me, this was a perfect Christmas story of Two people falling in love but also finding and building a family and the side characters are so enjoyable as well. Seth it the typical teen and Noelle is precious without being obnoxiously so. I would actually love to read her story next.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2018I would give this book 20***** if I could. What an absolutely beautiful story it was!!!! Dylan and Alex were WONDERFUL together!!! From the very first chapter of this book I was hooked! I kept marvelling at what a perfect story it was and how heartwarming, delicious, swoony and moving it was! I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading ..... Nicole was adorable and Seth was so cute! All of the character were so endearing especially Mrs. C.
I wish I could find lots of more books like this one to read..... It was everything I enjoy... So moving, so sweet, so sexy, so enthralling.... The whole time I was reading it I realized how happy and delighted the story was making me!!! This review may sound "gushy" but I read a lot of books and this lovely Christmas tale ranks high up there. If you want to put your feet up, snuggle under a warm cover, cuddle with your dog maybe, and enjoy a few hours of unadulterated, low angst, pleasure with a big romantic sigh in your heart this book is for you!!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2024All the stars for “Christmas Sugar”. It’s another great book from Melanie. Stop reading reviews and start reading. You will love it!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2024Im not reading it during the holiday season but it makes me wish it was the holidays. Christmas Sugar is a sweet story of a grumpy land development owner who falls for a single mom inn keeper. Throw in a little girl with a lisp and a gangly teenager, you will also fall in love with the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars So sweet and heartwarming ❤️
I love this story so much! So sweet and heartwarming! I remember when it was a fanfic, a search for it to reread, but couldn't find and then I found out it was published, so I had to buy it! Spend my Christmas rereading this wonderful story of new chances and love! Noelle is such a sweetheart, I love her! I recommend this sweet story ❤️❤️

I enjoyed reading Dylan and Alex's story. A beautiful well written story. He went on a business trip to buy a property and lost his heart to an amazing family.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet story
Just reread this and still enjoyed it just as much as the first time. If you want a lovely soft story to take your mind off reality for awhile,well this is the book for you. You'll love the characters, and they add another layer to the story.
- Tracy ~ Book Loving PixiesReviewed in the United Kingdom on September 16, 2019
4.0 out of 5 stars A really great read
I adore Melanie Moreland and her books. She really does a great HEA with a little angst, fab characters, sweetness and heat!
I know that ‘instalove’ stories aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but I enjoy them - and add in a Christmas theme (that I read on a hot July day in Florida!!) - I really enjoyed Christmas Sugar
Dylan Maxwell reminded me a little of Richard VanRyan from The Contract series, maybe not as much of an ass but he wasn’t far from it! Thankfully his fate hadn’t been sealed and he still had time to redeem himself!
What can I say about Alexis.... she was a sweetheart, took care of everyone and never gave a thought to her own life or happiness. Who’d have thought meeting a ‘snooty’ millionaire businessman from the big city could change her life....
Noelle and Seth were great additional characters who grabbed my heart as quickly and as fully as they did Dylan’s!!
A really great read that you could be sure to get through in a day!
